The only downside is that you won't be able to "import sqlalchemy" at 
all, without first importing pkg_resources and require()-ing the 
desired version.  And in your current scenario, you'll want to keep 
0.3.3 as your default since other packages with an open-ended version 
requirement would end up selecting 0.4.5.
